Mint Oreo Truffles are a delightful no-bake treat combining crushed Mint Oreo cookies with creamy softened cream cheese, coated in smooth melted chocolate. These truffles are easy to make, perfect for festive occasions or as a sweet indulgence, and can be decorated with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or chocolate drizzle for an extra special touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 1 package Mint Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Coating and Decoration

  • 12 oz white or dark chocolate, melted (for coating)
  • Green food coloring (optional, for white chocolate)
  • Sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chocolate drizzle for decoration

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor or a sealed plastic bag and a rolling pin, crush the Mint Oreo cookies into fine crumbs to form the base of the truffle mixture.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Mix well using a hand mixer or spatula until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place the formed balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes; alternatively, freeze for 15 minutes. This firms up the truffles, making them easier to coat.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white or dark chocolate in 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each interval until smooth. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring to white chocolate for a festive appearance.
  6. Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined tray.
  7. Decorate: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle crushed Oreos, colorful sprinkles, or drizzle additional melted chocolate over the truffles for decoration.
  8. Chill Again: Place the decorated truffles back in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has completely hardened.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, serve the truffles chilled as a delicious dessert or party treat.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a firmer truffle, freeze the mixture before dipping in chocolate.
  • You can substitute dark chocolate for a richer taste or omit green food coloring if not desired.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator; consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
